Hyrox is a global sports phenomenon with origins in Germany. The competition attracts many gym fans. But sports scientists also see dangers in the mix of strength and endurance.

Then they dragged sandbags and pulled heavy sleds with weights, all on time.

And it’s about to become a global fitness trend. As I found out, there are now competitions in the USA, Africa, Asia and Australia.
